Make Like a Mushroom
Mushroom image by Angela C. Wild Mushrooms are like tiny trees, in that what you see on the surface is considerably less than half the story. Out of sight, in private, they are busy creating networks – linking, interweaving, connecting with, influencing, helping, changing the tiny ecosystems around them and the majestic trees above. Make…

Keep and Eye on Cooper
Those of us who were chased out of the Labour Party so Starmer and Co would not be troubled by any vestiges of socialism or any variety of that “better, kinder politics” Corbyn offered have no illusions about the foul culture of Westminster. We see team Starmer, bank accounts sloshing with hedge-fund donors’ money, nevertheless…

It’s hard
It’s hard to write about anything except Palestine now. The two topics on my agenda now are categorized as Palestine and everything else.

Bombs, poverty and toilets

Originally, they were boys-side and girls-side – so that if you, for example, needed to rinse something…

Outcry and Condemnation
Yesterday, at the Parliamentary Committee of the Council of Europe, Kristin Hrafnsson made an appeal that should have gone straight to the hearts of all the journalists in the UK, as well as any citizens who have managed to hang onto their moral compass, or any memory of the basic requirements of democracy and human…

It feels as if nothing works because nothing works!
Well, not for us, anyway. Further to my habit of writing very strange book reviews… I started at the beginning with Fake Law, and industriously read the introduction. It’s a very odd introduction because it’s absolutely full of malicious, misleading rubbish which appears designed to foment Farage-style general rage against the EU in particular but…
